I grew up in and reside in Cary, North Carolina. I have loved to fish for as long as I can remember. I used to ride my bicycle to a nearby pond every day after school to fish for what ever I could catch. In the summer of 1995 I had saved up enough money to get my first boat. It was a 12ft. jon boat. At first I just had a trolling motor, eventually upgraded to an outboard. In the late 90s I got my first taste of fishing bigger lakes, a whole different ball game. It was tough and I had limited success in the beginning but never gave up and eventually got better. I graduated from Cary High School in 2001 and went on to college at Wake Tech majoring in Automotive Systems. College and working part time at Lowes really cut down on my fishing time and I missed alot of time on the water. After finishing college in the summer of 2002, I continued to work at Lowes. While walking around at the 2003 fishing expo I discovered that I could afford a bass boat if I played my cards right. In July of 2003 I got my Stratos 18 XL and I got back into fishing like never before. I soon found myself on the water fishing regardless of weather every day that I didnt have to work. As I began to have more success on the water I began to post fishing reports on the Bass Fishing Home Page after every trip. Through BFHP I met a friend named Jerry, he introduced me to a bunch of other fishermen via the internet from across the state and eventually from across the country. In October of 2004 I was invited to join Triangle Bass Anglers. Here I met more people and learned alot, also got hooked on tournament fishing. I have since experienced success in tournaments and started a guide service to share my knowledge with others. My ultimate goal is to compete in tournaments at a professional level and guide on local lakes. |
